29.04.2021, 09:00 GROUP 6 REVIEW: Iouri Chevtsov's side win thriller 32:31 to clinch their seventh EHF EURO berth |
||
For the fifth time in a row and for the seventh time in total, Belarus will be part of a Men’s EHF EURO final tournament. But Iouri Chevtsov's team were extremely lucky on Thursday night to win their EHF EURO 2022 qualifier 32:31 in Italy. The duo of Viachaslau Bokhan (eight goals) and Mikita Vailupau (six) were the key to success, while the Italians were close to their second surprise after beating Latvia in January. GROUP 6
Thrilling endgame with unhappy Italian conclusion When Aleh Astrashapkin netted for a 32:28 lead with only five minutes left, the deal seemed to be sealed for Belarus - but Italy struck back hard. Goals from Martin Sonnerer and Marco Mengon brought them back to 31:32, and Italy even had the last chance of the match. But unluckily for the hosts, Gianluca Dapiran failed with a penalty shot.
